A circle has a radius of 12 m. What is the approximate area of the circle? Use 3.14 to approximate pi. Write the answer to the nearest hundredth.

OpenStudy (amorfide):

area of a circle is pir^2 \[A=\pi(r)^2\] where A is area, pi is 3.14 and r is radius

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

OpenStudy (amorfide):

okay so try to work it out, and show me wh at you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12x3.14=75.36 but I don't know what to do with the powered.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, I messed up.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12x3.14=37.68

OpenStudy (amorfide):

\[A=\pi(r)^{2} \] can be written \[A=\pi(r)(r) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

OpenStudy (amorfide):

so you multiplied by 12, to get 37.68 multiply your answer by 12 again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

452.16?

OpenStudy (amorfide):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-.- the answer is 75.36 all you do is 12*2*3.14
